Guest Bloggers Wanted.

Have an extra special piece that you think is awesome and want to share it? This week I am looking for a few people willing to share their creative talents and be our featured Guest Bloggers.

While we cannot pay you for your article, we do our best to promote through our social media streams so that you can be seen by all of our readers and fans. In the world of blogging, exposure is key.
Dancing With Fireflies regularly reshares popular blog posts from many years ago, so your article should be evergreen.We are currently looking for posts relating to:Travel, Recipes and Tips, Lyme Disease, and Inspirational posts.

Here are a few of our guidelines for submitting Guest Blog Posts Pitches:

1. Content must be original to our site — written by you, and not published anywhere else.

2. Posts should be 600 words+. Max 900 words. Articles should be written in clear understandable English.

3. We prefer content that is unique, personal, or informational. Posts that are a straightforward advertisement will not be accepted. Our goal is to write personal articles that are enjoyable to read.

4. Include a short bio about yourself and your experience, 100 words max. You can include one link to your business here and your social media links. Please don’t hyperlink, instead include your links in brackets like this ([http://facebook.com/you]. A photo for your bio may also be included.

5. Credit all outside sources appropriately. However we ask that you do not include needless links. Example: “ This apple pie is great.” We know what an apple is. We don’t need links explaining what it is. Too many links are annoying.

6. All submissions must be attached to an email. Use of Word is preferred.

7. If you would like to include an image, please use a high-quality photo, the rights to which you own. We reserve the right to make any adjustments to the photo, including but not limited to sizing, cropping, and other edits. If you do not provide an image, we will select our own image.

8. We reserve the right to edit, partially or completely, every submission, including headlines and sub-headings. Links back to your own blog or site should be modest and fit the content of your post. If you include too many links, we may edit. Make sure any links in your post are relevant and valid. Links deemed to be irrelevant to the main idea of your post will be removed. Also non-working links will be removed.

9. Submission does not guarantee publication. Submissions with a “visit my site” or “check out my product” type feel will not be accepted. Trust us, we will promote you as a guest blogger, you don’t have to do it in the post.

10. We also ask that you are a part of sharing the effort of making Dancing With Fireflies successful and ask that you share at least one link to fireflydance.net either on your blog or via social media avenues at least once during the week in which you are featured.
